“Rising Stars on the Waiver Wire: Could Tyler Soderstrom and Jack Leiter Be Your Secret Weapons This Season?”

"Rising Stars on the Waiver Wire: Could Tyler Soderstrom and Jack Leiter Be Your Secret Weapons This Season?"

Tylor Megill – SP, NYM (9% rostered)
I wrote about Megill as one of my favorite late-round starting pitching targets this off-season (in the same article as Peterson), and said: “In 2024, Megill posted a 17.6% K-BB%, 12.8% SwStr%, and 27.6% CSW, all of which were better than the league average despite him having a fairly uneven season. He added a sinker last season, which has a 73% strike rate. He uses it primarily as a strike pitch to righties, which is crucial for him. He also added a cutter in 2024, and despite it having above-average swinging strike rate marks to righties and lefties, it’s also a pitch he can command for strikes with league-average zone and strike rates. It also allowed Megill to throw his slider less in 2024, which is good because his slider was a great out-pitch but struggled as a 20% usage pitch…He really has everything he needs to be a good MLB starter, but the consistency of that command is going to be crucial. With a full off-season under his belt to work on the cutter and sinker, we could finally see that in 2025.”
